What if we do survive? (Score 1)

This "will we survive" question really grabs us and gets our attention. But its the wrong question. The better question is "What IF we survive? Then what?" So what if we survive? Will we continue to muddle along killing each other, indulging our greed and selfishness, abusing our planet, living in fear both of real and imagined threats, and generally wasting our lives unable to fully appreciate the joy of living because we're so self-absorbed? Clearly we should take action to prevent the abortion of the human experiment, but that isnt really the point of being alive. To be truly alive isn't to be wrapped up in concerns about future survival, its to take good care of what we have here-and-now: if we do that, the future takes care of itself.
